Armies of attorneys march across the nation recruiting
useful idiots as plaintiffs in their lawsuits, all the
while searching for "the big one": a multi-billion
dollar settlement -- with a healthy cut of the plunder
reserved for them of course.

Their willing debasement of the American judicial system
in exchange for a quick buck marks them as malodourous
scoundrels of the most repugnant kind.

Yet the lawyers wouldn't do it if there wasn't money to
be made. Is tort reform the answer, or are there broader
issues that cannot be addressed through mere legislation?

I assume you mean killing all the lawyers a la Shakespeare? Works for me.

Eliminate punative damages. If its bad enough to be punished, then pass a law through the legislative process. Judicial legislation for the enrichment of lawyers must be stopped. Its destroying the very freedoms that make this country great.
